What would I do if Tua Tagovailoa stinks in 2021?

I want to start by saying I think Tagovailoa will have a solid second season for the Miami Dolphins in 2021. I am sure there are a lot of Tua Stans that probably didn’t even get to this point in the article, and that’s okay.

For those that know me and have been reading my work all offseason, you understand and know that I support Tagovailoa. I believe this question is a fascinating one, and it’s worth discussing.

There is no guarantee that any player will reach their full potential, and Tagovailoa is no different. I think he has the potential to be a top 10 quarterback in the NFL, but he also has the potential to be a bust.

As I said, he is no different than any other player. Time will tell what happens, but I think we will all look back on this offseason and laugh that it was such an overblown topic.

However, if Tagovailoa does stink in 2021, I think Miami will have to move on. I would love for him to get three years to show what he can do, but I don’t think the Dolphins will be able to do it. Fans are already split on whether or not Tagovailoa will be the guy. And if Tagovailoa stinks in 2021 and that split favors the side saying he’s not the guy, Miami will be in a tough spot.

Ultimately, again, I think Tagovailoa will have a good year. However, if he does have a bad year in 2021, I would trade for either Rodgers or Watson (pending his legal situation).
